Driving through a small town, I have a hard time driving past a gun shop without dropping in... SOOOOO
Went into the shop of a "gunsmith/auto mechanic/tire shop" (I'm not making that up), just to see if there was anything interesting that might be cheap. Struck up a conversation with the "gunsmith" who seemed decent enough until he went off on some strange stuff.
I mentioned the Uberti I bought for my son.
1 - He proceeded to tell me what a pile of crap they are. He concluded with, "Italy doesn't have any steel; so all Italian guns tend to be [bleep]".
I just smirked and let that go.
Then looking at a Spanish 20ga double he had on the wall, I commented that the barrels look too short for bird/clays shooting
2 - "Barrel length doesn't make a difference".
If you say so, I said... Knowing that's the answer of a man who has READ about shotgunning, but doesn't actually do any.
3 - "Spain doesn't have any steel either".
This time I chimed in... Uh, never heard of "Spanish Steel"
4 -"I've only heard it was [bleep]"
Google "Spanish Steel and the Pyrenees", I think you'll see that Spain might know a thing or two about steel.
WHOA!!! Don't go in there again.

There was one near me that would not even take in a rifle with a synthetic stock, much less work on it.

I was gunsmithing while you were still pooping in your pants there dik head, so your claim is highly questionable. The only place you're a gunsmith is in your overactive imagination.

Stirring up more stuff eh gunsgizzard. When you give them you standard salute for when you don't like some one's comment look in the mirror and say GFY. Can't you let folks alone. But Be Well, RZ.

Who rattled your cage there RZ, I wasn't talking to you. So instead of GFY I'll let you go with a MYOB.
